2012 Pulitzer Prize Winning Photographs Announced

The Pulitzer Prizes for 2012 have been
announced in every category including photography. The two photo
winners this year are truly impressive but really hard to look at,
especially when reading the story behind the work.

Craig
F. Walker earned the prize for Feature Photography thanks to his
profile of Iraq and Afghan War vet Brian Scott Ostrom, who is dealing
with an extreme case of post-traumatic stress disorder. The images
detail his struggle to survive in the normal world and the
difficulties that come with it.

Massoud
Hossaini took home the award for Breaking News Photography with a
shot of 12 year old Tarana Akbari, who stands screaming just moments
after a suicide bomber attacked and killed a crowd of people in
December of 2011.
